Mushroom-Stuffed Chicken Breasts Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pound the chicken breasts: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the fresh parsley and set aside.
- Make the stuffing: In a bowl, combine the fat-free Parmesan cheese, reduced-fat blue cheese, and whole-wheat panko bread crumbs. Stir in the sautéed vegetables.
- Stuff the chicken: Make a shallow cut horizontally in each chicken breast to create a pocket. Fill each cavity with the mushroom mixture.
- Bake the chicken: Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the stuffing is golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
